Tech Papers 2022: This paper, 5G Trials and Tribulations, sets out what VISTA aimed to achieve, how it achieved those aims and some of the problems along the way.
Abstract
DCMS 5G Testbeds and Trials-funded VISTA investigated in-stadium coverage for sports where an 'action replay' from multiple angles adds to the watching experience.
VISTA considered the use of the Further enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (FeMBMS) with on-site 5G New Radio (5GNR), Multi-access Edge Computing (5G-MEC) and containerised media encoders.
